LETTER THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVEN
With the help of Hashem Yisborach  ·  Sunday, Parshas Yisro — Uman  ·  Year 5601 (1841)
ToPeace — to my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — and so forth — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may he live — with all the rest of his household — peace and great salvation.

He received his letter today and it was a great comfort. And your reward is doubled from heaven — that you engage in this for such a merit of the many. May it be so — may Hashem be with him — that he merit to learn and to teach — to guard and to do and to fulfil — according to all that is written in them — Amen so may it be His will.

And praised be G-d — he is returning to his health with Hashem's help — but his strength is still not complete. And to Hashem the salvation — that He strengthen him soon for His name's sake — and restore him to his full vigour with added greatness — Amen so may it be His will. For now — he intends to travel with Hashem's salvation during this week to Tirahowitz — and when he returns after the holy Shabbas coming upon us for good — he will begin to travel home. And Hashem Yisborach in His mercy will give him strength to travel and to come home in peace — for he has no one to lean on except our Father in heaven. And now he hopes to think of a stratagem as to how to send the book there — and the counsel of Hashem — it will stand. More than this there is no need to extend.

The words of your father who awaits to see you quickly in joy.

Nussun of Breslov.

And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love. He does not know what Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — did wrong — on the contrary he knows that he engaged in this with all his heart and strength — and as he wrote to him and explained himself. And greet him and let him request mercy that the work be completed in peace — both from there to here — and from here to there. And to Hashem the salvation. Great are the deeds of Hashem — He Who makes His chesed wondrous with them at every time — with wonders of wonders — but still they need at every time much mercy and many salvations. For the task of a single person in this world is very very great and deep — "amok amok mi yimtza'enu" — "deep deep — who can find it" — to merit what one must merit in this passing world. All the more so the task of the many — for generations and so forth. But the power of the holy elder of holiness is very great — he began and completed and he will begin and complete and so forth. Ashreinu that we engage in this. Rejoice in Hashem and exult in the wonders of His chasadim — and trust in Hashem — for He will not abandon them forever — la shavik v'la sh'vak — He does not abandon and has not abandoned. Un taki fort hop — and truly — in all this — only joy.
